Well I finally got the word on how the doll expo went. Our group sold 6 dolls during the dealer's allowed buying time there. My African Cat was one of them. It made all the hard work and nerve damage (hahaha) worth it. My other 3 dolls will be returning home and of course, my mother has already claimed one of them. So now I feel a little more confident about the whole Scarefest situation and

(From the Online Dictionary, edited)Art refers to a diverse range of human activities, creations, and expressions that are appealing or attractive to the senses or have some significance to the mind of an individual. The word "art" may be used to cover all or any of the arts, including music, literature and other forms. It is most often used to refer specifically to the visual arts, including

(Edited since first posted) I probably will go to this thing, but I'm still waiting on a decision about selling. I'm trying to figure out if it would be worth it or not. The gas, the booth, the room and extra attraction tickets... add up. I doubt I'd make that money back. How many non-doll collectors would understand and appreciate the sort of dolls I make enough to fork out any money? Especially

A while back my mother bought two dolls that were very normal and plain. She called them "The Twins". It used to kill me to see her lugging those plain dolls around. I offered to reborn them for her but she would tell me she was afraid I'd do something scary to them. Turn them into little demons or some kind of horror doll. That would have been more fun. After finishing one of them, I thought I'd

I'm here in KY now and I'm beat. All this moving and now yard work, ugh. I'm working a little in my new dungeon. Finishing up a birthday doll and two others for my mom who's been bugging me to death. I guess she thinks I've had spare time. I've got a larger collection of dolls and things than I had realized. I've got a few up on ebay. Trying to decide if I want or need to sell anymore. Well, I

Being allowed 6 dolls to go to this Washington DC Doll & Bear Show, I've managed to struggle through 4. I didn't realize how much nerves and stress can mess up your groove. I finally got the first two on the web site and have already began to have second thoughts. I almost decided today that I'd just NOT send the dolls and not sink anymore money into this. My mood lately is just horrible. I think

I just wanna talk about pity and selling dolls. Someone used to brow beat me for even mentioning I had breast cancer. She thought it somehow gave me an unfair advantage? The Pity sale? Yeah right, I don't think anyone buys out of pity unless it happens to be something they like and it might give them an excuse to go ahead and spend the money on themselves. If anyone is really using pity as a

(edited & updated 8/08)I'm sure some of this may be true apply to some auctions on ebay, but some of this is what I've observed over the last 2yrs (just buying & selling dolls) and thought I'd pass them along. If you're a new doll seller, you especially want to arm yourself against some of the accusations that will be coming your way. Because everyone that makes a decent amount of money is

I got these links from a forum. This is always the hardest thing for any artist to do. These links do help you at least come up with a plan if you just have no idea. If you can, take your work to a show to sell. Ebay is a sad indicator of the real value of your work. There are people (dealers) that know that and will buy up your things and resale in a shop or elsewhere. There's even a few that'll

The Hulk in the middle is part of a friend of mine's Collection. I created that doll from a wrestling figure using polymer clay, genesis paints and mohair. *See Paranormalbabies.com for more interesting dolls.Click here for the article
